Bali pigs follow suit

Bali’s Pig Farmers Association has also reported similar sudden deaths in pigs across the island on July 2.

This has hit Bali’s pig farmers hard as market prices plummet nearly 50 percent.

Chairman of the Joint Pig Farmers Association Indonesia-Bali Province I Ketut Hari Suyasa said the price of pork has plunged to Rp 15,000 per kilogram from Rp 28,000.

I Ketut Hari Suyasa voiced his frustration in the government’s lack of concrete plans to address the problem.

The chairman emphasized that the recent changes have severely impacted traditional farmers.
